Begin by thoroughly cleaning the lamb testicles. Cut them in half lengthwise and carefully peel away the outer skin. Set aside. In a pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-low heat and add diced onions, grated garlic, and a pinch of salt. Stir for about 4 minutes, then add the olive oil to the mixture.
Place the testicles in the pot, cooking them gently for 2 minutes on each side to avoid breaking. Add the spices: ground turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, coriander, saffron threads, and black pepper. Stir gently to coat the testicles, cooking for 5 minutes while flipping them occasionally to ensure even cooking on all sides. Add water, cover the pot, and bring it to a boil.
Once the liquid begins bubbling, add the thinly sliced onions, placing the testicles on top. Pour in the honey, cover the pot, and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain the raisins, add them to the pot along with a pinch of cinnamon, and gently stir. Cover and cook for 30–45 minutes until the onions caramelize and the testicles are tender. Flip the testicles occasionally for even cooking. Serve the dish garnished with toasted sesame seeds.
